:00:07. > :00:11.Hello. Welcome to South Today. In the programme. Shutting up shop.
:00:11. > :00:16.Hampshire Police halves the number of front desks and says tweet or
:00:16. > :00:23.Facebook us instead. As an old fashioned police officer myself, I
:00:23. > :00:28.regret the closure, because it is there as a ser advice. Bad news for
:00:28. > :00:32.birds. A disastrous nesting season if the drought continues. Ice
:00:33. > :00:37.breaker to the rescue, HMS Protector saves stranded scientists
:00:37. > :00:41.in Antarctica and the caught walk is calling. The paralysed model
:00:41. > :00:45.picked for a high profile fashion campaign. Compielted. I don't feel
:00:45. > :00:55.like it has ruined my life. In many ways it feels like it has improved
:00:55. > :01:02.
:01:02. > :01:05.The signs say we are sorry and 17 such messages went up in police
:01:05. > :01:09.stations across Hampshire today, as the force halved its number of
:01:09. > :01:13.front desks for good. That brings the total number of closures in the
:01:13. > :01:18.County to 22. As police forces across the south try to find
:01:19. > :01:23.millions of pounds of savings, it is a picture which is replicated in
:01:23. > :01:27.other areas. Surrey is closing 24 police property, end mixture
:01:27. > :01:33.ofisation, o stations front desks and offices. Thames Valley is
:01:33. > :01:38.looking at sharing offices and Mabel doubling with with fire
:01:38. > :01:42.stations. Others are considering closing smaller stations but no
:01:42. > :01:47.numbers yet. Hampshire Police say without the cuts there would be
:01:47. > :01:51.fewer officers on the beat. Our Home Affairs correspondent reports.
:01:51. > :01:55.The door of the police station closed to the public for good. It
:01:55. > :02:00.is one of 22 front desks being shut across Hampshire. The police
:02:00. > :02:05.station will still be here, the police officers will be still here,
:02:05. > :02:10.but people will no longer be able to drop in and see them. Think it
:02:10. > :02:15.will make a difference. People will get the idea police won't be about.
:02:15. > :02:19.I think they should stay open. People know where they can go, and
:02:19. > :02:24.if they, like if they find anything or need help, if it is closed,
:02:24. > :02:29.people just don't see the police. It has been slowly closing over the
:02:29. > :02:33.years when I was a kid it was open all the time. I think it's wrong, a
:02:33. > :02:37.town this size needs one. 16 of the busiest front desks will stay open.
:02:37. > :02:42.But some people will have to travel further to get to them. Hampshire
:02:42. > :02:46.Police say just a handful of people ever visit the desks they are
:02:46. > :02:49.closing. They say most people phone or e-mail and thousands contact
:02:49. > :02:54.them on Facebook and Twitter. haven't gone, we are still in
:02:54. > :02:58.communities and neighbourhood, we are improving the service we are
:02:58. > :03:02.given by other option, telephone, online, and that is because we must
:03:02. > :03:06.keep our front officers on the street. If we can make savings by
:03:06. > :03:10.doing the right thing in other areas that makes it easier for us
:03:10. > :03:13.to keep bobbies on the beat. the Police Federation, which
:03:13. > :03:17.represents officers, says the closures are the first of more
:03:17. > :03:23.visible service cuts to come. police station doors are closing,
:03:23. > :03:27.in the future police stations will be sold off, police officer numbers
:03:27. > :03:32.are reducing, the service is being damaged by 20% cuts to their budget.
:03:32. > :03:39.The force agrees, tight budgets mean tough choices and these
:03:39. > :03:42.closures won't be the only cut back. Well, Alex is with me now. Front
:03:42. > :03:46.desks are closing but the force has been working on new ways for people
:03:46. > :03:49.to contact them. Hampshire has been up front about the fact they have
:03:49. > :03:52.to save month and shutting front desks is tonne way, they have been
:03:52. > :03:56.proactive. Particularfully the field of social media. Hampshire is
:03:56. > :04:01.one of the forces that has led the way on this. In fact they have got
:04:01. > :04:05.round 20,000 people following them, on things like Facebook and Twitter.
:04:05. > :04:08.They do use it to interact with people. If you think back to major
:04:08. > :04:13.operations, for example, when Portsmouth played Southampton in
:04:13. > :04:19.the football last year, the force was tweeting all day to keep people
:04:19. > :04:23.informed about possible trouble, and if you think about back to the
:04:23. > :04:28.riot, the police attracted round 10,000 new Twitter followers
:04:28. > :04:31.because way were tweeting what was going on, advice, updates and that
:04:31. > :04:34.kind of thing. Are people using Twitter and Facebook for things
:04:34. > :04:39.they would have gone to police stations for? Absolutely. We had a
:04:39. > :04:43.look through the pages to find some examples of this. Here is one from
:04:43. > :04:47.Facebook, someone stole the kids bikes from the garden, if anyone
:04:47. > :04:57.cease a Ben 10 bike in Somers Town let me know. Another one from
:04:57. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:09.And the police are using these sites to get back in touch with
:05:09. > :05:13.people and answer queries. It isn't fob for everybody. Some people
:05:13. > :05:17.won't use these sites so police are stressing the phone is there and
:05:17. > :05:22.some of the front desks will remain open. But this is a new element of
:05:22. > :05:25.policing, just worth mentioning in an emergency, always dial 999.
:05:25. > :05:30.Thank you very much. And for a full list of the stations that remain
:05:30. > :05:33.open, go to the BBC Hampshire website, the address is on the
:05:33. > :05:39.screen. Now the funeral of a Bournemouth schoolboy who died
:05:39. > :05:44.after being hit by a cricket ball took place today. Kyle Rees who was
:05:44. > :05:48.16 and a student at Portchesterle school was head on the -- hit on
:05:48. > :05:51.the head. Hundreds of family and friends came to pay their respects
:05:51. > :05:57.at St Andrew's church in Bournemouth. I think there is so
:05:57. > :06:04.many people are deeply shocked, and in deep grief, and I have seen this
:06:04. > :06:10.shock, it is a bit like Princess Diana's event, it was just, people,
:06:10. > :06:14.their gut reaction there. Southampton pub threatened with
:06:14. > :06:17.legal action over ition famous name sake could be close to wing its
:06:17. > :06:20.fight with Hollywood. The Hobbit pub was told it would have to
:06:20. > :06:25.change its name by the company behind the up coming film of the
:06:25. > :06:31.same name after being accused of copyright infringement. After a
:06:31. > :06:36.campaign supported by Sir Ian McKellen, the pub could continue to
:06:36. > :06:39.use the name for a feel of $100. Thousands of jobs in the solar
:06:39. > :06:43.panel industry have disappeared, just in the last few months, and
:06:43. > :06:47.more are under threat. It is because of the Government's
:06:47. > :06:50.decision to dramatically reduce its green subsidies. That is the
:06:50. > :06:55.warning from the man behind Freetricity which has seen a big
:06:55. > :07:01.fall in the take up of solar panels across the region. Boiling water,
:07:01. > :07:07.soon to be powered by if sun. This is one of the lucky people. Her
:07:07. > :07:11.roof was big enough to qualify for free solar panels. She gets the
:07:11. > :07:14.electricity, the company that installs them gets the money from
:07:14. > :07:18.the Government. I would love to do it payment wise but I can't afford
:07:18. > :07:22.it. If there was a case no way I would have been considering them.
:07:22. > :07:28.Only got them because they are free. I am tied in 25 years but I doesn't
:07:28. > :07:31.bother me. But the future isn't looking bright. It was possible to
:07:31. > :07:38.get 43 pence kilowatt in December I halved down to 21 pence and there
:07:38. > :07:42.are fears it could drop to 16 pence in July. I am disappointed about it.
:07:42. > :07:47.We set the company up a year -and- a-half ago and the Government said
:07:47. > :07:51.they would be putting this tariff in place for four year, it would be
:07:51. > :07:54.reviewed annually, we were able to plan according to that. But
:07:54. > :08:01.unfortunately things are different and the Government have made three
:08:01. > :08:05.changes now, one with only three weeks warning. The Government
:08:05. > :08:09.continues to change its policy on since di. It has meant that
:08:09. > :08:13.companies like this can no longer install on smaller properties, in
:08:13. > :08:16.the north it has meant houses can no longer qualify for free solar
:08:16. > :08:20.panels. There is a lot of uncertainty in terms of the jobs,
:08:20. > :08:24.people thinking, will I have a job in three months time? A number of
:08:24. > :08:28.companies are doing, people like ourselves are looking at
:08:29. > :08:33.diversifying, looking at other green products. While this woman
:08:33. > :08:41.stands to benefit, it is is a gloomier prospect for the solar
:08:41. > :08:44.industry. Thousands of pounds left in a Will to the New Forest Owl
:08:44. > :08:49.Sanctuary which closed following an undercover operation by the BBC's
:08:49. > :08:53.Inside Out is to be given to the charity which rehomed the birds.
:08:53. > :08:59.The sanctuary closed in 2003 and its owner was convicted of five
:08:59. > :09:03.wildlife offences. But it had been left a share of �65,000 in the will
:09:04. > :09:07.of 84-year-old Vera Spear. A legal fight broke out as to where it
:09:07. > :09:10.should go. Today the high court ruled it should be given to the
:09:10. > :09:13.north Wales bird trust which rehomed many of the birds. Across
:09:14. > :09:17.the south education chiefs are having to create thousands of new
:09:18. > :09:22.school places as they try to wrestle with the spike in birth
:09:22. > :09:28.rate. The squeeze is leading to the loss of some important facilities
:09:28. > :09:34.for children. Our Dorset political reporter has the details. 60 years
:09:34. > :09:40.soing a the UK experienced the baby boom. The population jumped by
:09:40. > :09:48.500,000 and wives and sweater hearts welcomed loves ones home.
:09:48. > :09:52.Guess, what, it has happened again. A jump in the birth rate pushed the
:09:52. > :09:55.number of people in the country above 61 million. Now four years on
:09:55. > :10:00.these children are reaching school age, but where is the extra
:10:00. > :10:05.capacity? In Winchester parents are angry about temporary classrooms,
:10:05. > :10:09.and in Brighton a former police station and the am mex stadium
:10:09. > :10:14.could be used. In bourm there has been a record number of births with
:10:14. > :10:17.2008 the highest in 30 years. 420 new primary places are needed in
:10:17. > :10:21.schools that are full to bursting. More parents are unable to get
:10:21. > :10:26.their child into their first second or third choice school, siblings
:10:26. > :10:30.are being separated and more modular classrooms, only meant to
:10:30. > :10:35.be a temporary solution are becoming a permanent fixture. Other
:10:35. > :10:39.important space is lost, like music rooms and libraries. This year
:10:40. > :10:43.because we have one spare classroom, we have a library in a proper room.
:10:43. > :10:47.Because we expect an additional class in September we loo lose that
:10:47. > :10:53.for a period of four years. Short- term, you know, struggle, or loss
:10:53. > :10:57.in terms of library space, but long term we will gain that back. It is
:10:57. > :11:00.something campaigners are unhappy about and say the problem would
:11:00. > :11:05.have been foreseen. Local authorities, or the majority of
:11:05. > :11:10.them never seem to plan for this. And the minute the birth rate drop,
:11:10. > :11:14.they start merging school, closing schools and I think if any
:11:14. > :11:18.authority puts a school in the position of having to close down,
:11:19. > :11:23.then they really need to be held to ransom over it. On a recent visit
:11:23. > :11:27.to the south, Schools Minister Nick Gibbs says money is being made
:11:27. > :11:32.available to meet the dehand, but as far as Bournemouth goes hemmed
:11:32. > :11:39.in by protected heathland and the sea, face for new schools is
:11:39. > :11:44.something the town don't have. You can see more on the Sunday Politics
:11:44. > :11:48.here on BBC One. The Portsmouth based ice patrol ship HMS Protector
:11:48. > :11:51.has rescued a team of scientists in danger of being cut off by bad
:11:51. > :11:55.weather in Antarctica. The ship had to punch through dangerous pack ice
:11:55. > :12:00.to pick up the team. It is the second drama for the ship since she
:12:00. > :12:05.began her patrol. Days earlier, her sailors fought a major fire at a
:12:05. > :12:09.research station in which two people were killed. These
:12:09. > :12:13.photographs just sent from the ship give a glimpse of the dangerous
:12:13. > :12:19.pack ice sailors had to breakthrough to rescue scientists
:12:19. > :12:23.from the remote James Ross island. The Portsmouth based ice breaker
:12:23. > :12:28.had landed a team of geologists on the island, but with worsening
:12:28. > :12:34.weather it was decided they should be pulled out. Then prothe ship had
:12:35. > :12:44.to fight through the ice to reach open water. It is unnerving, as a
:12:44. > :12:48.naval officer to drive at ice,. This film showing the previous ice
:12:48. > :12:53.breaker, gives an idea of the kind of conditions faced by HMS
:12:53. > :12:59.Protector.. The issue we had is that Protector can break ice to a
:12:59. > :13:03.depth of about a metre. Most ships can only break new ice. If it
:13:03. > :13:08.becomes gracial ice, you can't break it. The risk of us becoming
:13:08. > :13:12.trapped was very high. Just days before the drama in the ice,
:13:12. > :13:17.sailors from the ship had fought a major fire at a Brazilian research
:13:17. > :13:23.base, in which two people were killed. The ship is now back in the

:13:27. > :13:32.Antarctic. Conservation groups in the south are warning that wildlife
:13:32. > :13:38.will suffer if the drought continues. The RSPB says 2012 could
:13:38. > :13:46.be a disastrous nesting season because of the lack of water. We
:13:46. > :13:49.report from one wetlands site in West Sussex. These wetlands aren't
:13:49. > :13:52.wet enough. At Pulborough Brooks they are worried about how the
:13:52. > :13:56.drought will harm the birds that breed here. This is the problem.
:13:56. > :14:02.What should be a torrent is barely a trickle. The water channels that
:14:02. > :14:08.feed into the wetlands aren't flowing as they should. Birds that
:14:08. > :14:11.breed on wet meadows must find their own food from hatching.
:14:11. > :14:16.Invert brats get hard to find and the young are unable to fly to
:14:16. > :14:22.other sources of food, until they fledge. The chicks need about six
:14:22. > :14:26.weeks to two months of damp soil conditions to feed well, and to
:14:26. > :14:30.turn into fully flying birds. It is the damp ground that is insect rich
:14:30. > :14:35.that is the key F the ground isn't damp the birds can't access the
:14:35. > :14:39.insects. And if the dry weather persist, swallows and house martins
:14:39. > :14:44.which use mud to form their nests will struggle to find building
:14:44. > :14:48.material, reducing the nesting success. Conservation groups say
:14:48. > :14:52.this drought, and the effect it will have on the environment should
:14:52. > :14:58.make households reconsider the amount of water they use. We get a
:14:58. > :15:02.tonne of water every week and it costs about a pound. Now, it is
:15:02. > :15:06.fashionable to cit sies the water companies but they are doing well.
:15:06. > :15:09.We need to reveal it is a environmental limit. Here at
:15:09. > :15:15.Pulborough Brooks they have taken measures to try to hang on the all
:15:15. > :15:24.the water they can. But if there isn't heavy rain soon, spring
:15:24. > :15:28.conditions for breeding waders will be poor. And still to come, we

:23:20. > :23:25.Olympic challenge, and here is a sport I have never done before.
:23:25. > :23:31.Boxing. I'm not well suited o to it. I am going to struggle. Who do I
:23:31. > :23:34.fight? That is big question, bring on Mick gooding, I have had many a
:23:34. > :23:40.disagreement with him in the commentary box. We have finished

:23:57. > :24:02.the art to being a great boxer. Ask these chaps down here. I have never
:24:02. > :24:07.done it before. You have to be brave. We have a crowd. Barnsley
:24:07. > :24:12.against Reading. They had a good result at Doncaster, they need to
:24:12. > :24:16.keep that unbeaten run. Hopefully surge into the automatic promotion
:24:16. > :24:26.sports. Less talking, more abshurpbgs that the bell. We will
:24:26. > :24:29.
:24:29. > :24:35.be under way with round two. Here we go. -- less talking more action.
:24:35. > :24:39.That is the bell. Jabbing away. Excellent. To think those two will
:24:39. > :24:43.be commentating tomorrow. If they are in one piece. Are they still
:24:43. > :24:51.going to be friends at the end of that? If you have been inspired by
:24:51. > :24:58.Tim's efforts you can donate money by logging on to Sport Relief .com.
:24:58. > :25:01.That has been our entertainment for the night. I think there is a
:25:01. > :25:05.height disadvantage. I am glad they height disadvantage. I am glad they
:25:05. > :25:09.had the guards on. Now the weather. Are we going to get what we were
:25:09. > :25:16.hoping for for mother's day. We might see some sunshine but there
:25:16. > :25:20.will be a lot of rain. We do have a weather picture for you Hilary
:25:20. > :25:25.captured the flowers in Bournemouth gardens to brighten up a grey day.
:25:25. > :25:29.So it was very grey indeed. One or two bright spells today. Taking a
:25:29. > :25:34.look at the weekend, there will be that much-needed rain. Some
:25:34. > :25:39.brightness on offer, more so on Sunday, a cooler feel to things,
:25:39. > :25:42.particularly later on on Sunday with a northerly wind. Tonight the
:25:42. > :25:46.cloud stays with us. And it will arrive during the second half of
:25:46. > :25:50.the night. So a lot of cloud initially. You can see the weather
:25:50. > :25:55.front slipping, prach -- patchy in nature, and temperatures staying
:25:55. > :26:00.mild under the cloud and in the rain. So we start the day tomorrow
:26:00. > :26:06.on a damp and soggy note. The band of patchy rain merges into a longer
:26:06. > :26:10.spell of rain. Sort of round late afternoon, that south-east corner
:26:10. > :26:14.could stay wet for much of the day. Elsewhere one or two showers.
:26:14. > :26:17.Blustery conditions with the showers and a high of ten or 11.
:26:17. > :26:21.The winds coming in from the south- west. Tomorrow night, the showers
:26:21. > :26:26.will tend to fade away, the skies will clear which means temperatures
:26:26. > :26:30.take a plunge to freeing, a low of four or five, the risk of a touch
:26:30. > :26:35.of frost in the countryside, with temperatures hovering round the
:26:35. > :26:41.freezing mark under the clearing skies, so a chilly start to the day
:26:41. > :26:45.on Sunday but high pressure builds in, that means the conditions
:26:45. > :26:49.brightens up. Late evening sunshine but we will see showers, hit-and-
:26:49. > :26:53.miss some areas could stay dry and one or two bright and sunny spells.
:26:53. > :26:58.Monday, a bit of cloud to start the day. One or two bright spells and
:26:58. > :27:02.through the afternoon and a similar condition on Tuesday, with high
:27:02. > :27:06.pressure pushing in, but you can see the winds are coming in from
:27:06. > :27:11.the west, it won't be a cool day, it won't be that, the winds won't
:27:11. > :27:14.be that light in fact, if I can can get my words out. High pressure
:27:14. > :27:18.remains in charge. Conditions start to improve into next week.
:27:18. > :27:23.Temperatures start to rise, the winds will stay brisk but we get
:27:23. > :27:26.that much-needed rainfall over the weekend. In time for Monday. If you
:27:26. > :27:29.don't like the rain, think of the birds we reported on earlier, they
